Learning outcomes:
26th February 2015
This course shall teach the students to acquire knowledge about the nature and its
compositions. In order to accomplish this, the following objectives will be achieved:
 To build a basic knowledge of the structure of chemistry
 To analyze scientific concepts and think critically
 To review the importance and relevance of chemistry in our everyday lives
 To be able to utilize the methods of science as a logical means of problem
solving
On successful completion of this course the student will be able define the basic
concepts of chemistry, including the structure of atoms, electronic configuration. To
understand and explain basic equilibrium chemistry and the principle behind four main
classes of reaction, e.g., acid-base, oxidation-reduction, complex metric and
precipitation reactions. Additionally student should be able to recognise in real live
organic compounds and understand their functions and structures. Students will be able
to compare and contrast the chemical behaviour and physical properties of common
substances. Students will be able classify matter by its state and binding behaviour
using the Periodic Table as a reference.
Introduction to chemistry, atoms and atomic theories, Chemical compounds and their chemical
Indicative syllabus content:

Quality assurance:
Quality assurance
Through regular monitoring and control of the assistants the process of continuous
work of students should be achieved. The entire written and oral request from student
will be carefully evaluated by the responsible course holder and through discussion
with other professor and course assistance decisions will be made. Quality of the
course will be achieved through continues homework assignments and tutorials.
